Chapter 649: Crisis Averted

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After listening to the system’s notification, Wang Mang was overjoyed.

He had pulled it off!

Now, all he had to do was make his escape!

At this moment, Wang Mang vaguely felt the space in the distance distort.

When he raised his head and saw a scene that made his heart tremble, space shattered, and then a huge dragon claw covered in scales emerged from it and headed straight for Wang Mang!

Seeing this, Wang Mang turned pale with fright.

“Not good!”

There was no time to waste!

Wang Mang grabbed Wushi and activated the teleportation stone. Then, in the blink of an eye, Wang Mang, Wu Shi, and the Black Emperor disappeared.

Boom!

At the same time, this terrifying dragon claw instantly turned the place where Wang Mang had been standing into ruins.

A terrifying aura swept out, causing the seawater to surge rapidly into the resulting crater.

Then, a figure gradually emerged. It was Zhu Long, whose expression was extremely ugly.

He had never expected that he would actually fail to kill a mid-stage Zenith Heaven realm expert!

What made him even more furious was that the dragon clan had lost another late-stage Zenith Heaven realm expert!

When he first sensed the death of the Fifth Elder, he knew that something bad had happened, but even then, he failed to achieve any meaningful result, which left him feeling infuriated.

Wang Mang had actually killed the Fifth Eider and escaped!

In this way, the dragon clan could be said to have suffered heavy losses!

Zhu Long’s heart was bleeding.

He regretted it. If he had known that this would happen, he would never have invited Wang Mang into the dragon clan.

“Am I really getting old and senile? This is truly a major setback for the dragon clan.”

Looking at the place where Wang Mang had disappeared, Zhulong’s expression turned ugly as he muttered to himself.

Clearly, the losses Wang Mang had inflicted on the dragon clan had made Zhu Long doubt himself.

At the same time, Sage Emperor Continent, East Gate General’s Mansion.

Suddenly, Wang Mang, Wu Shi and the Black Emperor appeared out of thin air in the cultivation room.

“Damn it, I was almost scared to death. That guy was too terrifying.”

The Black Emperor had a terrified expression on his face. Zhu Long had appeared so quickly, and had attacked without hesitation.

That terrifying pressure had restrained all of them, making it difficult for them to even move. They had barely escaped by the skin of their teeth!

Wang Mang was secretly rejoicing. If he had not acted fast enough, he would have been dead by now.

“Master, why did the dragon clan suddenly attack you?”

“Didn’t they value you highly previously?”

At this moment, Wu Shi also asked in confusion.

Hearing this, Wang Mang felt extremely embarrassed.

Could he tell Wu Shi that he had sucked the Dragon Transformation Pool dry?

Wang Mang could not help but sigh.

“Ugh, things are like this…”

After Wang Mang added some embellishment, he gave a general explanation of the matter.

After hearing this, Wu Shi said angrily, “The dragon clan is truly shameless.” “They’re actually jealous of Master’s talent. After seeing Master’s strength increase greatly after entering the Dragon Transformation Pool, they actually decided to kill you.”

Hearing this, Wang Mang sighed helplessly.

“Sigh… What can I say? These guys are too shameless.”

“I didn’t expect them to do such a thing!”

“If I had known, 1 would have hidden the news of my heaven-defying talent.”

At this point, Wang Mang’s mood lightened up.

“However, the world is so big, so there will be plenty of opportunities in the future. Furthermore, there are many otherworlds out there, like this one here.” Hearing this, Wu Shi came to a realization.

“It’s no wonder this world feels different. So we’re no longer in the same world.”

At this point, Wu Shi secretly admired Wang Mang.

After all, Wang Mang’s methods were simply divine. His Master actually possessed a method that allowed him to instantly escape to another world.

Even a peak-level Tier 5 expert would find it extremely difficult to do so. After all, no one knew how far apart these two worlds were.

[Ding! Wu Shi is in awe of the host’s mysteriousness. Loyalty +5. Current Loyalty: 90!]

[Ding! Wu Shi was extremely touched by the host’s unrelenting actions when faced with danger. Loyalty +5. Current Loyalty: 95!]

After hearing the system’s notification, Wang Mang was overjoyed. It seemed that there were some hidden benefits from escaping from Zhu Long.

Now, he would not have to worry about Wu Shi’s loyalty in the future.

Thinking this, Wang Mang’s mood became even happier. This time, his trip to the world of the Journey to the West had been worthwhile.

Although it was dangerous, the rewards were great!

While Wang Mang was feeling smug, the system’s voice rang out again.
